How we approach bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fakenham
We handle bespoke & shaped rooflights across Norfolk, including Fakenham. In short: triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
In the East of England, bungalows and chalet bungalows with large flat-roofed extensions are common, and they often suit a long run of rooflights. In Fakenham, as anywhere, bespoke & shaped rooflights are the usual choice for openings that standard sizes do not fit.
We work across Norfolk, including Fakenham, and in neighbouring towns such as King's Lynn and Cromer. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fakenham
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Fakenham: questions
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Can I cancel a bespoke order?
Made-to-measure goods are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right. As a goodwill gesture you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer, and we tell you in writing when that happens.
Will a shaped rooflight leak more?
Not if detailed properly — corners and junctions just need more care.
Can you work alongside my builder in Fakenham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Fakenham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
